Grenada Flag Patch

"The flag of Grenada is divided into four horizontal bands with a green triangle extending from the hoist side. Three yellow five-pointed stars are positioned within the red bands, symbolizing the tri-island state of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique.

At the center of the green triangle is a yellow disk displaying a nutmeg pod, highlighting the nation’s significant role in the spice trade and its nickname as the “Island of Spice.”

Red

Historically, red often signifies strength, valor, and courage. For Grenada, this color embodies the vigor of the nation’s people and their determination throughout history, especially during periods of resistance and change. The bold red also symbolizes the warmth and vitality of the island nation.

Yellow

Yellow stands for the golden sun that shines over the islands and the warmth it brings. It can also represent wisdom and harmony. In Grenada’s context, yellow highlights the friendliness and welcoming nature of the Grenadian people and the hope and optimism they carry for the future.

Green

Green is symbolic of the lush and fertile land of Grenada. With abundant vegetation, the island is verdant and teeming with life. This color speaks of the nation’s agricultural ancestry and the natural beauty that is a significant part of its identity." (source: mappr)
